At first glance, both Chu Chen and Qingying were greatly surprised when they heard that they were number one in the world and number two in the world.
No one would have thought that there would be crouching tigers, hidden dragons, thousand-year-old monsters, and powerful hidden men all over the world. The strongest ones were actually Mr. Ming Jing and the Demon Emperor of All Magics.
Moreover, it is still recognized.
Even innate gods with arrogant temperaments like Di Yuan Longjun recognized this ranking.
Chu Chen was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he was not surprised at all.
More than ten years ago, Mr. Ming Jing inherited a great treasure, was blessed with the Ancestral Dragon of Luck, and was in charge of the Sheji Divine Artifact [Shanhe Sheji Sword] and [Nine Dragon Jade Seal]. He jumped from an ordinary third-level supernatural power to one of the top powerhouses in the world.
In the past few years, Mr. Ming Jing has been in charge of the magic weapon. It is hard to say whether his immortality has been greatly improved. However, the "super-grade method" has definitely improved rapidly, and it is not surprising that his magic power has been improved to first-grade magic power.
It is natural for Mr. Ming Jing to become the most powerful person in the world.
As for the Wanfa Demon Emperor, the situation is similar to that of Mr. Ming Jing. The demon emperor stood up, fought against Dachang, opened up the country, and gained good luck.
"Could it be that the Demon Emperor of All Magic is the clone of the ancient gods and demons?"
Chu Chen muttered secretly.
If the speculation is true, as the remnant soul of an alien god and demon, how can the Demonic Emperor obtain the fate of the Demon Court?
"Erlang, why do you suddenly ask about this?"
Lord Diyuan Long noticed that Chu Chen and Qingying had something wrong with their expressions, and frowned:
"How did you come to meet the top three strongest people in the world?"
Chu Chen and Qingying smiled helplessly and went deep into Xiaowu Mountain to search for the "Hidden Dragon Divine Insect". They accidentally encountered the plague god Guo Liang and told the truth about their encounters with ancient gods and demons.
"I see!"
Diyuan Longjun suddenly realized it and sighed quietly:
"I never expected that the Demon Emperor of Ten Thousand Magics was actually the incarnation of Demon God Moyun. It's no wonder that he could suddenly rise to prominence. His magical powers are so mysterious and profound. He really has a great background."
Chu Chen was slightly startled.
Demon God Moyun was one of the titles of the ancient demon god. He had heard the incarnation of Minghe Shangxian mention it.
Seeing that Lord Di Yuanlong was so sure, he couldn't help but feel curious:
"Father-in-law, since the Demon Emperor of All Magic is the remnant soul of the demon god from outside the realm, how can he control the fate of a country, the heaven, the earth, and the country? Even if he has the blessing of sentient beings' thoughts, it will be difficult for him to sacrifice to the heaven, earth, and the country."
"It's not difficult."
Lord Diyuan Long shook his head and explained:
"The Demonic Way is good at reviving bodies and resurrecting souls. He also has superior and profound magical powers. He can be reincarnated and extend his life without entering the six realms of reincarnation. With the method of mowing the remnant soul of the Cloud Demon God, he can be reincarnated a few times to eliminate the influence of the remnant soul of gods and demons outside the territory. It is not difficult to completely transform into a native creature of Dachang and take charge of the Demon Court Society."
"I see!"
After hearing the explanation from his father-in-law Di Yuanlongjun, Chu Chen became more and more sure.
The top three clones in the world according to "Qing Yuzi" are probably the "Demon Emperor of All Magics".
No wonder "Qing Yuzi" felt anxious and decisively broke with "God of Plague Guo Liang" to seek opportunities for the "Hidden Dragon God Insect".
The pressure is too much.
If "Qing Yuzi" succeeds, not to mention being able to defeat the "Demon Emperor of All Magics", at least he will have the ability to protect himself.
It's a pity that he ruined the opportunity.
Nowadays, the situation of "Qing Yuzi" is probably not much better than that of "Plague God Guo Liang". There is no thousand-year-old monster chasing him, but there is the strongest person in the world who is thinking about him.
Apart from anything else, "Qingyuzi" seems to have taken the script of the villain and protagonist
Whether it is the origin of the Demonic Emperor of All Magic or the fate of "Qingyuzi", although there are huge implications behind it, once the situation is known, there is nothing that can be done further or anything can be done.
After some discussion, everyone put it aside for the time being and turned their attention back to themselves.
Originally, Diyuan Longjun planned to take his daughter Qingying back to Qingzhou to practice cultivation on the spot. On the one hand, he would refine the "Hidden Dragon Divine Insect" and on the other hand, he would accumulate one or two points to break through to the third level.
This time, Qingying has been traveling for many years, and her Taoist heart has become refined and harmonious. However, her "Tao perception" is just a little bit behind. With the "Hidden Dragon" that is almost [Hidden Transformation], she will undergo a transformation. She can reach the third level. Expect.
However, Qingying rejected her father's proposal.
For no other reason, Qingying wanted to comprehend the "Hidden Dragon Divine Insect" with Chu Chen.
Understanding "The Body of the Hidden Dragon Divine Insect" is also a rare opportunity for Chu Chen who practices the "Hidden Dragon Sleeping Pill Technique".
After hearing the explanation, Diyuan Longjun didn't want to force it.
If the mountain is not mine, I will be the mountain.
Long Jun has long been used to being his daughter's slave, so this immortal avatar simply stayed in the Yunzhou Lingshan Sect to protect his daughter and son-in-law.
However, Chu Chen and Qingying did not immediately comprehend and refine the "Hidden Dragon Divine Insect".
Qingying came out of the Wushan Zongzu Forbidden Area, and there was still some "Wushan Gu Qi" in her body that had not been eliminated. She needed to meditate for two days and receive guidance from Lord Long to accumulate experience for subsequent insights and breakthroughs.
Chu Chen did not follow him into retreat.
He has the [Three Light Divine Water] to protect his body, and there is not much Wushan Gu Qi in his body, so he doesn't need to pay attention to it. Secondly, he has urgent matters at hand, so he went to the pure practice room for retreat alone.
As soon as he entered the clean room, Chu Chen took out two treasures from the Bracelet Immortal Mansion.
A small clock the size of a palm, like a bell, and two divine swords.
It was the plague god Guo Liang who stole the plague magic weapons [Double Swords to Distribute and Stop Plague] and [Plague Huang Bell].
In the Thunderstrike Valley, he used the [Autumn Plague Divine Order] to recapture the two magic weapons from "Qing Yuzi", which was a small gain. Only one transformation magic weapon, the Fazao Banner, was left wandering outside.
Chu Chen came to the Dharma altar in the clean room again, placed incense lamps, Dharma water, paper horses, etc., stepped on the steel pole, and used the [Earth Letter Seal] to enter the underworld and go to the underworld.
"boom!"
The gate of the earth opened wide, and Chu Chen turned into an escaping light and disappeared into the ghost gate.
The underworld of Fengdu, the palace of Qiuwen God.
Marshal Zhao of Qiuwen and Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan sat opposite each other in the courtyard, drinking tea and playing chess, chatting from time to time, and their relationship was quite harmonious.
"Brother Gongming, you seem to be worried lately, but has something happened again?"
"Hey, it's hard to put it into words. It was Guo Liang, the plague ghost, who caused the trouble."
Marshal Zhao of Qiu Wen shook his head, and did not hide anything. He said leisurely: "Recently, I have been making deductions to try my luck. I didn't have much hope at first. Who would have thought, but after a casual try, I actually noticed Guo Liang's Qi."
"Oh~ this is a good thing!"
Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan knew that he had been troubled by this problem for many years, and immediately asked:
"What can be found?"
"What a good thing!"
Marshal Zhao of Qiu Wen shook his head repeatedly: "I vaguely sensed that he seemed to have a great opportunity, and his luck was like a rainbow. In the past two days, his aura disappeared again, and I couldn't see it at all."
Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan: "Maybe it's a good thing, he died unintentionally."
"I'm afraid not."
Marshal Zhao of Qiu Wen shook his head: "There is still a trace of his aura vaguely visible. In my opinion, he may have been blessed by chance, and his Taoist and supernatural powers have improved by leaps and bounds."
"this"
Marshal Danfeng of Fengdulang Lingguan's eyes sank slightly, and he understood that Zhao Gongming, the God of Autumn Plague, was worried.
Let Guo Liang become the climate, causing trouble in the lower world, unable to control it, and causing a huge disaster. No matter how tough and deep Zhao Gongming's background is, he will have to be punished by heaven and be responsible for this matter. No one can save him.
For a time, Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan was speechless.
Just when the two of them were playing chess together, an immortal official hurriedly came outside the courtyard and presented a Qingci book.
Qing Ci is Qing Ci, which is the talisman used by Taoist priests in the world to write to heaven and the underworld.
Marshal Zhao of Qiu Wen was irritated at the moment. Seeing that an immortal official from the mansion had not opened his eyes and sent someone to play Qing Ci to disturb him, he felt a little angry. He was about to scold the immortal official for his lack of vision, but before he could say the words of scolding, he I was quickly attracted by Qingci.
Qingci from Dachang World!
Marshal Zhao of Qiu Wen became interested, stretched out his hand to take Qing Ci, and scanned it with his consciousness.
The next moment, the expression on his face suddenly changed, his frown suddenly relaxed, and his sad look turned into a spring breeze blowing on his face, and his whole body was faintly exuding a cheerful and relaxed look.
When Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan saw this, he suddenly became curious:
"Brother Gongming, have you met something happy?"
"good!"
Marshal Zhao of Qiu Wen laughed loudly: "Hahaha~ I made a mistake. Guo Liang didn't just get a chance, he died."
"congratulations!"
Marshal Fengdulang Lingguan raised his hand to congratulate him. He was quite arrogant, both when he was a mortal and when he became a god. He didn’t have many friends. Now that he saw his friend out of trouble, I was sincerely happy for him. Apart from his joy, he couldn’t help but be a little curious:
"I wonder who killed Guo Liang?"
"Who else could it be?"
Marshal Zhao Qiuwen smiled slightly:
"Brother Yun, he's here."
Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan was a little surprised. Just as he was about to say something, soldiers and horses from the Shenfu came to report that a guest came to his door.
Not long after, a Taoist in green with an immortal sword on his back came to the courtyard of Shenfu and met the two marshals.
"I have met the emperor and the true king."
The person who came was none other than Chu Chen, who had entered the underworld.
"Little friend Chu, please sit down quickly. Someone is here to give me a seat!"
Marshal Zhao of Qiuwen laughed loudly:
"Thanks to Brother Yun's guidance and letting Chu Xiaoyou take action, he killed Guo Liang in less than half a year. It's wonderful, it's really wonderful!"
Zhao Gongming thanked Emperor Guan Sheng and praised Chu Chen in one sentence, making the scene lively.
Marshal Fengdulang Lingguan had already vaguely guessed that it was Chu Chen's handiwork when he saw it. Despite his arrogant temper, he also showed a heartfelt smile and his face was bright:
"Brother Gongming, I said that little friend Chu has a destiny. Look, it's true."
When Chu Chen heard the two great gods praising him, he shook his head and bowed his hands.
"True Lord, it was not me who killed Guo Liang, the god of plague."
After saying that, Chu Chen looked regretful.
Killing Guo Liang, the God of Plague, would mean canceling the debt with Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, and making a huge profit of 300 million jade in one breath. If someone else kills him, he can only save half of it.
Of course, he could lie to Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, that he had killed Guo Liang, the God of Plague. The true king had preconceived this idea, and there were [Double Swords to Spread and Stop Plague] and [Plague Huang Zhong] as evidence. This matter was basically It's a sure thing.
However, this idea was only fleeting and was quickly rejected by him.
After practicing to this level, his Taoist heart is firm and sincere, and he disdains to do such sloppy things.
The God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, is the righteous god of heaven, and he is not a monster. The way to deal with him is to follow the Taoist heart.
Chu Chen was surprised when he saw Marshal Zhao of Qiuwen and Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan. He immediately explained and told the story of the fall of the plague god Guo Liang.
"That's what happened. The plague god Guo Liang died in the hands of the remnant soul of the ancient demon god in his body. I picked up a leak and took back the [Plague-Building and Suppression-Plague Swords] and [Plague Huang Bell]."
"It's a pity that the ancient demon god was unpredictable and allowed him to run away. There is also a plague magic weapon [Fazao Banner] that has not been recovered."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed:
"True Lord, although I can't kill Guo Liang, the God of Plague, I have recovered the [Double Swords to Spread and Stop Plague] and [Plague Huang Bell]. Look at this bet. Can you reduce the debt a little, or give it more grace?" Years ago, I spent a lot of money raising troops and I was short of money."
Marshal Zhao of Qiuwen and Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan couldn't help but smile knowingly when they saw Chu Chen bargaining.
Just now, Chu Chen was so upright that he denied that he was responsible for killing the God of Plague, and regarded hundreds of millions of jade coins as dirt. In the blink of an eye, he was bargaining like a philistine, just like a common man.
This performance fell in the eyes of Marshal Zhao, the God of Wealth, but his eyes couldn't help but shine.
For a moment, he vaguely understood why Brother Yun looked at this little friend Chu in a different light.
When cultivating the truth and seeking the Tao, what you seek is to pursue the most sincere and true way.
Even if there are billions of gold, it cannot be worth the immortality of heart.
Right now, this little friend Chu seems to have entered the true way!
"Hahaha~"
Marshal Zhao of Qiuwen laughed loudly and said:
"Little friend Chu, you don't know something. I don't care whether Guo Liang dies or not. The main thing is to recover the magic weapon of the Ministry of Plague. The [Double Swords to Spread and Stop Plague] you took back can activate the plague, which is extremely important. As for the [Fa Zao Banner], if it is left behind, it will be left behind, and it will not cause any future troubles.”
Chu Chen is also a quick-thinking person.
In fact, the bet between him and the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, was not rigorous. Both parties mentioned it casually and it was all about trust.
Many times, the power of interpretation lies in Zhao Gongming's hands.
As soon as he heard this, he immediately understood something and looked happy.
"Zhenjun, what do you mean?"
Marshal Zhao Qiuwen smiled slightly and was in a good mood:
"That's right, your and my debts will be purchased and sold in one lump sum, and the one hundred thousand soldiers and horses will be considered a gift from me as a thank you."
Chu Chen was overjoyed:
"Thank you, True Lord, for the reward!"
"Little friend Chu, please don't thank me in a hurry."
Xu Shi's worries were gone. Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, felt relaxed and in a good mood. He immediately said:
"You helped me get rid of the traitorous general this time, which solved a problem for me. I want to thank you well this time."
Chu Chen was stunned. He had just called himself "Ben Zhenjun", but now he was actually "Ben Zhenjun".
what does that mean?
It means that the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, has arrived, and he plans to give him a generous reward.
Sure enough, Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, spoke and waved his hand with great pride:
"Little friend Chu, besides these 100,000 troops, what else do you want, tell me!"
Chu Chen was startled, and his heart couldn't help but beat fast.
In the world, a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold, but what about the promise of Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth?
When he reached Chu Chen's Taoist realm, there were very few things that could excite him.
At this moment, his heart was a little confused.
